Nicolas Sarkozy: Possibly the friendliest Frenchman in the world
French President Nicolas Sarkozy favours the hug and kiss approach when it comes to greeting the public and other dignitaries. There are countless pictures of him going in for a cuddle with Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, as well as Mr. Obama himself. English Prime Minister Gordon Brown looks delighted to be on the receiving end of some French friendliness…
No prizes for guessing who Sarkozy's favourite Prime Minister is...
American President Barack Obama is less fond of the PDAs, preferring to bump fists with his public, and of course, his wife Michelle.
Michelle and Barack decide on McDonalds for lunch...
Always keen to be seen as a manly man, Obama shuns the traditional handshake once again when greeting Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez…
I don't shake hands, Hugo. I grab.
